LCT: LCT data set

LCTR Documentation

LCT data set

Description

These data have been extracted from the 1000 Genomes data. The data set contains the genotype matrix LCT.gen, the pedigree matrix LCT.fam and a matrix LCT.bim, corresponding to 503 individuals of European populations and 607 SNPs on chromosome 2, on a ~300kb segment containing the Lactase gene. There is also a factor LCT.pop, which gives the population from which each individual is drawn (CEU = Utah residents of Northern Western European ancestry, FIN = Finnish, GBR = England and Scottland, IBS = Iberian, TSI = Toscani).

Note that the SNP rs4988235 is associated with lactase persistence / lactose intolerence.

Usage

 data(LCT) 

Format

There are three data objects in the dataset:

LCT.gen

Genotype matrix

LCT.fam

Data frame containing all variables corresponding to a .fam file

LCT.bim

Data frame containing all variables corresponding to a .bim file

LCT.pop

Factor giving the population from which each individual is drawn

Source

The data were obtained from the 1000 Genomes project (see https://www.internationalgenome.org/).
